I never really got into Jimmy Eat World, never fully absorbing what the band had to say. Meadows loved Clarity and by the time Bleed American was going to come out they were supposed to be the second coming. I still don't really know the band's musical personality. This disc, which I picked up used, is a collection of 7 inches and compilation tracks. And it feels as such, throw away tracks are mixed in with more experimental outings, but I am still sort of left not fully 'getting' the band - maybe I don't have to.
